Notes on implementing concise calls to constructors with type parameters

[Ulf Zibis]

Hm, precisely I meant, if there is any difference in the instantiated 
object, and it's behaviour. Is it?

I think, LHS defines precisely the variables type, it's typesafe usage 
and methodical behaviour, regardless which constructor of which type 
instantiated it, so typesafety only matters for later usage of the 
variable as typesafeness of RHS doesn't matter after that code line, and 
we can define the shortcut as legal, to avoid the compiler warning.
